Proposal for a new proton injector for LINAC2
The CERN proton Drift Tube LINAC (LINAC2) has been serving as proton injector to the PS Booster for over 20 years. In 1992 the pre-accelerator (composed of a 750 keV column and a double buncher system) has been replaced by a Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ2) able to be accelerated excess of 200 mA o...

description | The CERN proton Drift Tube LINAC (LINAC2) has been serving as proton injector to the PS Booster for over 20 years. In 1992 the pre-accelerator (composed of a 750 keV column and a double buncher system) has been replaced by a Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ2) able to be accelerated excess of 200 mA of protons. 160 mA-proton beam are delivered to the booster during normal operation, 180mA during high intensity operation. Although this value is satisfying for the future LHC operation, a larger margin would be welcome ( 180mA for production beam, 200 mA for high intensity operation). In this note we propose a solution to improve the overall performance of the CERN proton LINAC (LINAC2). |
